Yeah man, this is crazy! Well played, well sung, well written.... love the way it flirts with that modal vibe but other times is pleasantly poppy, great stuff.

I truly believe that clawhammer played like this makes life totally worthwhile...then there's your laid-back vocals...yep....Heaven in a track !

outstnding, crazy well played teased creation :) Love it

@loran-otzer: Thanks Loran. Hope you are well and still making those unique songs of yours!

THE VERY TALENTED ABIGAIL WASHBURN IS TO RETURN TO THE UK ON TOUR IN MAY AND RELEASE HER FIRST SINGLE “CHAINS” (remix) ON JUNE 6th


Abigail Washburn began the year with an immensely successful UK tour and album launch that has found major critical acclaim on both sides of the Atlantic. She returns in May to launch her first single at radio with a short tour with co writer and multi instrumentalist Kai Welch. Abigail has been touring extensively in the US including SXSW and is set to continue with appearances at Bonnaroo, Telluride and a tour of the West Coast this summer along with UK summer Festivals. 

“A real gem”. - FRoots (Folk Roots)

“A lavish record that turns the heat under Washburn’s melting pot a further few notches” – The Guardian

“Purveyor of clawhammer banjostress turns outs something astonishing..”- Mojo 4*

“and very lovely it is too” - The Independent

“An interesting and Original album ..City Of Refuge is an album that gets better each time you listen to it. Washburn's own beautiful clawhammer banjo playing is augmented by a brilliant ensemble cast of musicians to bring together what she has described as 'a huge community record'.” - The Telegraph

“City of Refuge melds Washburn’s classic, old-time storytelling with indie-pop songwriter Kai Welch and renowned producer Tucker Martine creating “the best kind of crossover – one that anyone can find comfort in” (LA Times).

“gorgeous, joyful new sound” – Newsweek

"...Appalachia and folk-pop, with tinges of Asia and Bruce Springsteen" - Jon Pareles, The New York Times

“The indie influence makes City of Refuge seem almost mainstream in places and certainly less of an acquired taste than any of Washburn’s previous projects but it is far from being bland. Multi-textured and multicultural, though simple and soulful too, the album is for the most part just an inspiriting listen: original, inventive and twinkling” – The Line of Best Fit

“In her singing Washburn exhibits a versatility to match her bold creative leaps and everywhere the musical seasoning is finely judged” - Maverick.

Sample the selections from our upcoming EP, 4 Banjo Songs: 1891-1897. The selections in this medley are 1. Haul the Woodpile Down (ca. 1893–94), 2. Never Done Anything Since (ca. 1892–93),3. A New Coon in Town (1897), and 4. Keep in de Middle ob de Road (ca. 1891). Asbury was an African American banjo player, and these may be the earliest examples of minstrel-style banjo playing on record. The 7-inch 45-rpm EP is packaged in a gatefold jacket and includes a 16-page booklet with musical and biographical notes by Grammy-nominated authors Richard Martin and Ted Olson. 4 Banjo Songs will be released May 4.
